Aiken Recorder: During the past week
James Aldrich, ESD, has been engaged as
special referee, by the appointment of Judge
Kershaw, in hearing the important case of
Jesse Thompson & Co. against d. B. Gillison
and the Aiken Building and Loan Associa-
ton and others. The main fight in the case
is the defense set up by Mr.. Gillison that the
bond and mortgage of the building and loan
association is usurious This question in in
terest and importance reaches beyond the
amount involved in the present case, as its
decision will affect the building and loan
associations not only in our town, but else
where. We presume Mr.. Aldrich will file
his decision this week, and that either side
will appeal TO Judge Hutson.
